SM Gays – By Derek Cohen
SM Gays is an group started in London in 1981 for, as its label indicates, gay men interested in the practice of SM sex. Created in the wave of the sexual liberation movement of the 1970s, SM Gays continued the route of SM liberation started by the foundation of The Eulenspiegel Society (now TES) in Novel York City, in 1971, and then amplified by The Society of Janus from the mid-1970s in the Bay Area. Samois, the first lesbian SM organization started in 1978 also in the Bay Area; and most importantly Gay Male S/M Activists, or GMSMA, started in August 1980 in Recent York City which was, as we shall see, a more direct alter on SM Gays.
SM Gays, like all the aforementioned organizations, inherited from Eulenspiegel the triadic model around which their activities would revolve: social, educational, and political. SM Gays was created as a place where gay men with an interest in BDSM could encounter one another socially, where they could learn from one another in command to enjoy and extend their favorite BDSM activities safely and with greater intensity, and where they could group and agitate in order to dispel myths around SM or

In this article, we use case studies of two different drag show collectives, the 801 Girls, a queenly queen troupe in Key West, Florida, and the Disposable Boy Toys, a political feminist collective in Santa Barbara, California, to search the differences between drag queens and drag kings. We argue that, despite their divergent routes to performing queenly and the alternative contexts and styles of their shows, a similar critique of hegemonic gender and heteronormativity emerges from their performances. As the first systematic comparison of drag queens and drag kings, this article enhances our understanding of the gendered dynamics of drag.
